There used to be a guy with a LM in So Cal. that used to go to Palm Springs for the Toss every year whose name I do not recall. This was about 25 years ago. He used a complete EFI system off of an early Datsun 260Z . This was what Bosch simply called L Jetronic using an air flow sensor (with a door that would open based on the amount of air going into the engine). He had to modify the heads to mount the 6 injectors as well as the FI temperature sensor. There was no on board diagnostics. He told me he picked this system because the parts from a junkyard were plentiful (back then) and the Z had the same size engine as the Corvair. He also said there was better all around driveability and performance. It was interesting at the time. Anyone know who this was or what became of this car?
